Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Chapter 26 Mother, do you look down on me too?

She was too lazy to stay here. With one hand on Chunxi's arm, the master and servant walked towards Chuitang Courtyard.

Zhou Chengru no longer had the anger he had just had.

He stood there with his head down, then looked at Murong Feiyue and Zhou Qiongyu, his eyes full of disappointment.

Other people's daughters are all dignified and pretty.

Why did she... ?

Most of the arrogance he had just expressed while talking to Zhou Wenyi was vented, and his look of disdain was evident in his words.

"Why are you yelling? This is not the farm. If you make a mistake, you must accept the punishment."

"Listen to your mother and kneel down at the entrance of the ancestral hall to reflect on your sins."

After saying that, he walked towards the study without looking back.

Zhou Wenyi is a scholar and knows the importance of reputation.

He was just a ten-year-old boy, and he would not say it even if he had any resentment towards Zhou Qiongyu.

He just lowered his voice and said, "Brother, you have to be more careful if you want to be with the generals in the future."

"Why?" Zhou Wenqing didn't understand.

"People will look down on the Zhou family and say that our legitimate daughter...ah...I hope mother will ask uncle to take us to more banquets." Zhou Wenyi knew in the academy that people admired the Minister of the Central Secretariat and the Minister of the Palace.

Zhou Wenqing disagreed and raised his fist. "If you look down on us, then conquer us with your fists."

"Humph, your fists are not as hard as the guards'."

Zhou Wenqing said nothing, but secretly made up his mind to go to Su Buyi to learn martial arts again.

He will become successful and then defeat those who look down on him.

Su Rutang returned to Chuitang Courtyard.

I didn't see any peach blossoms.

Dongxiang pointed to the couch in front of the window and made a gesture to keep quiet.

Su Rutang understood.

As she walked, she deliberately called out, "Where is Taohua? Where is my precious Taohua?"

Taohua’s little head hid under the blanket.

With her butt sticking out, her pink skirt was so conspicuous. As Su Rutang cried out softly, her body trembled.

Even opened a crack to take a look.

When she opened the gap for the third time, Su Rutang had already walked beside her.

He hugged her.

"Mom finally found you."

The peach blossoms are grinning and blooming, with their eyebrows and eyes curved like a half moon.

"Did you miss your mother at home today?"

Taohua nodded.

She gestured with her hands, and Rong Rui, who had crawled out from under the table, explained:

"Madam. Taohua said you are the mother in his dream."

This one sentence made Su Rutang's eyes red.

Try not to cry.

"Rong Rui, from now on you can call me Aunt Tang."

Rong Rui looked at his brand new clothes, a hint of embarrassment appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Aunt Tang."

"Come here, Aunt Tang." Su Rutang waved.

Rong Rui went over obediently.

Su Rutang wanted to give Taohua some assurance, so she looked at Rong Rui seriously. "Rong Rui, Auntie Tang wants to discuss something with you."

Rong Rui's heart sank.

He was afraid that Su Rutang would drive him away.

"what's up?"

"Do you want to learn martial arts? When you grow up, what will happen to Taohua if Aunt Tang is gone?"

As a mother, you should plan ahead. Su Rutang wants revenge, and the future is unknown.

Rong Rui answered solemnly:

"Aunt Tang, I will protect Taohua."

"Aunt Tang believes in you. How about you go to the Su Mansion to learn Kung Fu every day from now on?" Su Rutang touched his head gently.

The warm touch made Rong Rui stunned.

Is this the smell of mother?

Su Rutang seemed to see what he was thinking and gently took him into her arms. "In Aunt Tang's heart, you are no different from Aunt Tang's son."

"I learn martial arts."

"Then let's go to the Su Mansion tomorrow." Su Rutang pinched his ear happily.

By the way, I kissed Taohua's face.

I played with them for a while and then brought them books and copybooks.

She taught her two children to write herself.

Taohua's grip on the pen is a little soft, but Rongrui is very talented and one can tell the difference from the moment he holds the pen.

Let them sit on the couch and copy the calligraphy.

Su Rutang then went to wash and change into casual clothes.

The maid from Ruyuan came and said that Aunt Ru had a miscarriage and hurt her body. She needed a bowl of bird's nest every day, but the kitchen only gave her Tremella soup.

Chunxi didn't let the maid into the house.

He dismissed her at the gate of the courtyard, "You saw it too. The old lady is angry with our Second Madam. Now it is Sister Yu who is in charge of the household affairs. You should go find Sister Yu."

The little maid showed her sleeves.

He said pitifully:

"Sister Chunxi, please have mercy on me. Aunt Ru takes her anger out on us. She either pinches or beats us. When we get to the gate of the eldest lady's courtyard, we can't see her anywhere."

The little girl's arms were covered in red and purple.

Chunxi sighed.

"You wait."

She came in and spoke to Su Rutang.

"Rong Rui, there needs to be a reply here."

"Peach Blossom. Your little face has become a little cat."

Su Rutang picked up the wet towel and wiped Taohua's face, "Chunxi, ask her to go find the eldest girl tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

"Give her some of the ointment from Baohetang and ask her to apply it quietly without anyone seeing."

Chunxi responded and left to get the ointment for the little girl.

He ordered people to close the door and not to open it no matter who came.

Dark clouds cover the moon.

There were continuous lightning flashes in the sky, casting layered shadows of the trees in the yard.

Raindrops fell from the sky.

The raindrops fell down with a crackling sound, hitting the roof and disturbing people's sweet dreams.

Su Rutang was awakened by the sound of the rapid rain.

Seeing Taohua sleeping soundly in my arms, I vaguely remembered that a big event happened at this time in my previous life.

There have been heavy rains in Beijing for several days.

The ditches in the low-lying areas were blocked and the roads were full of water.

Mixed with animal carcasses and dumped garbage, many people's houses in the capital collapsed. There was even an epidemic, and it was only when Doctor Ke came back to the capital that the epidemic was stabilized.

She got up and walked barefoot on the ground.

When I came to the window, I saw a flash of lightning.

Then there was a loud thunder.

As I looked up and down, the rain got heavier.

The peach blossoms on the bed made tiny sounds, and Su Rutang hurried back to hold her in his arms, humming softly a nursery rhyme to lull her to sleep.

Early the next morning.

The rain has eased a lot.

After breakfast, Su Rutang did not go to pay his respects.

He only asked Dongxiang to pass on the message that he was going to the Su Mansion.

He took Rong Rui and Tao Hua into the sedan chair, changed to a carriage at the corner gate and left the Zhou Mansion.

This side of the mansion.

When Zhou Wenqing heard that Su Rutang was going to the Su Mansion, he hurriedly chased after him with his short sword.

He vaguely saw the figure of a little boy getting on the carriage.

Hurriedly chased after him.

"Mother."

Ma Liu paused for a moment, "Second Madam, Qing'er is chasing us."

"Ignore him, let's go."

"Yes."

Ma Liu drove away.

Just as Zhou Wenqing was about to catch up with the enemy outside the corner gate, he saw a carriage splashing away.

He fell down in a panic.

He was so angry that he threw away the dagger.

"It must be that bastard Zhou Wenyan." He only vaguely saw a figure's back and kicked the grass and trees on the roadside in anger.

He took two steps and stopped.

He turned back and picked up the dagger that had fallen on the ground.

He secretly hated the fact that he was determined to make Zhou Wenyan suffer the consequences, so he arrived at the gate of Chuitang Courtyard.

Zhou Wenqing looked at Chuitang Courtyard grimly, letting the rain fall on his head and face.

Mouthing in his mouth:

"Mother. Do you look down on me, too?"

Thinking of his mother's words, he was more convinced that Su Rutang adopted them only because he didn't have a son. This was a purposeful decision, not because he liked them at all.

Su Rutang didn't care what Zhou Wenqing was thinking.

Without her painstaking teaching, she wanted to see if these children could ever become high-ranking officials.

The carriage moved slowly.

Rong Rui looked at the street outside with a melancholy look on his face.

"Rong Rui, what are you thinking about?"
